Double Fist Offwidth

About

Double Fist Offwidth is a moderate rock climbing route located near Grand Junction, Colorado. The climb features an offwidth crack that requires specific techniques and gear to navigate its wide opening. It is suitable for climbers with some experience who are looking for a technical challenge rather than sheer volume or extreme height. The route is accessible year-round, with spring and fall offering mild temperatures ideal for climbing. Summer heat can be intense, but shaded areas provide relief during early morning sessions. Winter climbing is possible on sunny days, though climbers should avoid sandstone surfaces after rain or snow to maintain rock integrity. The site is situated at an elevation of 5,194 feet and offers on-site parking. It is pet-friendly, allowing dogs to accompany climbers. The surrounding area includes granite canyon walls and sandstone blocks, with Unaweep Canyon providing endless crack climbing routes. Local resources such as Summit Canyon Mountaineering and REI offer gear rentals, guidebooks, and beta information. The Western Colorado Climbers' Coalition serves as a key resource for access issues and bolting rules.
